Core Values
Uniqueness
A body operates with a variety of parts, all working together for one purpose. It is a picture of unity in diversity. We embrace the unique call and talents of each person in among the community. We also embrace the unique calling of our own local church. While there are great models and forms to glean and learn from, we are firmly convicted that God has uniquely called and gifted us according to his purposes.
Transformation
God is on a mission to redeem creation. This redemption is not over until there is a new heaven and a new earth. We embrace the dynamic ways in which Jesus is making all things new. The person is transformed in the mind, body, and soul. The community is redeemed from social injustice, opression, and poverty and transformed into the Kingdom of the Heavens.
Community
The beauty of the Kingdom is found in redeemed community. We need one another. The community spreads beyond the scope of the local church. The schools, jobs, and homes within our footprint are seen as venues where Jesus is building his kingdom. We look for these places where He is already at work and seek to join him on his mission to redeem humankind.
